Nate Silver ?@fivethirtyeight
Jim Cramer says Obama will win 440 electoral votes. 538 model puts chances of this at: 0.004% (n.b. we use heavy-tailed distributions)
No idea who Jim Cramer is.

Looks as if 330 has the highest probability.

(1,250 posts)9. Wow. Jim Cramer read my Obama Landslide thread!
440's a bit high even for me but that's MUCH more like it given my call of a 15% to 20% lead in the Popular Vote for Obama.
I like 400s much more than low 300s.
ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE
One way or another I see Obama getting closer to or even hitting 400 Electoral Votes when it's all said & done.
Jim Cramer gets one right.
He redeemed himself!
